1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Recent research suggests there is an increasing burden of malnutrition in the Philippines due to insufficient or deficient consumption of micronutrients and energy. This open-label, randomized, prospective clinical study examines the impact of the consumption of a pre-school milk for young children on micronutrient status, nutritional intake, and growth. Methods: Healthy, singleton, term Filipino children aged 3-4.5 years were randomized to receive a fortified pre-school milk product ( Results: Mean age at baseline was approximately 44 months old. Almost all children (98%) were consuming fortified milk before being enrolled in the study. The primary outcome, micronutrient status did not significantly differ between INT and CTRL at baseline or after 16 weeks ( Conclusion: In this randomized, parallel clinical study, children consuming a pre-school milk for 16 weeks had improved nutrient intakes and increased rate of growth compared to a group of children consuming their habitual diet.
